Warren Entsch introduces homosexual marriage bill with warning over 'divided nation' but it will divides anyways
The ABC reports: Government backbencher Warren Entsch has introduced a bill to legalise same-sex marriage in the lower house, despite knowing it is highly unlikely to go to a vote before the next election.
In his address to parliament Mr Entsch warned of a "divided nation" unless gay marriage is legalised. "The main purpose of this bill is not a complex one. It is to give same-sex couples in Australia the same right to marry the person they love as that which is currently only granted by law to heterosexual couples," he told the chamber.
"This bill is designed to promote an inclusive Australia, not a divided one. A divided nation is what we will be if we continue to allow discrimination in relation to marriage on the basis of a person's sexuality."

What Entsch doesn't understand if his legislation is approved the nation will STILL BE DIVIDED

Entsch Homosexual marriage bill contains no safeguards for anybody or organization that disagrees with government legislating immorality.
Mr Entsch announced his intention to bring on the private members bill in last week's party-room meeting, triggering close to six hours of Coalition debate to thrash out the party's position on a free vote. A clear majority — two thirds — of government MPs and senators voted to keep the existing position against a conscience vote, effectively ensuring a bill would be defeated if it went to the floor of parliament.

Entsch should be sacked from Parliament and fresh election held for his seat as he is not loyal to his party but to the Greens and Labor. He does not represent the views of Queenslanders.
